Control PC from iPhone (WiFi)

I have managed controling my keyboard and mouse from my iPhone 3G (ios 4.2.1) with Logitech app Touch Mouse(Διαβάστε εδώ πως ).
You have to run a Logitech server installed on the PC. BOTH are free.
This is working through WiFi from the iPhone (client side) as long the PC (server) is on the same "network" s OR even in different network if you kow the exact ip and there are no firewalls block the ports used in between.

Make sure the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings" is ticked
On the Wireless Networks tab, under Preferred networks, click Add

In the Wireless network properties dialog box, on the Association tab, type the name of your ad hoc wireless network in Network name (SSID) box (shown in step 10). For example, you could name your wireless network iPhoneNetwork.

9.Clear the The key is provided for me automatically check box and select the This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network check box.

10.Create a 13-digit password and type it in both the Network key and Confirm network key boxes. Then click OK.

Click OK again to save your changes.

You are now able to "connect" to the iPhoneNetwork from "View available wireless netwroks"

After a little (re)searching i was able to get it stable with the following configuration still only and only when i had a iFile webserver running to prevent my iPhone from Auto-Locking and at the same time keeping the connection alive

The continue (CONT) is the19th signal to the process number 1181 which is our music playing

Bluetooth

Of course you can use the more user-friendly UI of Remote controling your music through Bluetooth, the protocol AVRCPis implemented in iPhone 3G.I managed to get remote contoller and stereo sound(A2DP) working together under Windows XP after installing Atheros Bluetooth Suite.

There is not much to explain. First you have to pair the iPhone with the PC.

It will ask you for passcode, just give an easy 0000Then just start your ipod App or audio player on the iPhone and go to Bluetooth Suite

select your iPhone and then select Stereo Audio Gateway and you are listenning your iPhone music from your PC speakers and you have !

For the separete option you will use AirPlay button on iPhone player Just press the Airplay button and select iPhone and your iPhone speakers or headphones will work again.
